hi i was wondering if anyone could point me in the write direction for finding material on this topic:

 

How did contemporary political life affect the work of THREE of the authors (my choices are Livy, Polybius, Plutarch, Suetonius, and Tacitus)

 

thanks in advance

Have you read anything by any of these writers? Theres a link below that i have just found on google that has links to to some of their work.

 

Also use an encyclopedia to find out when they were alive, and the politcal climate at the time, and see if you can find anything that reflects this in their work.

 

Well thats how I'd start off anyway! :unsure:

thanks for the response

 

i have read some from each of these authors. Im in the process of reading Seutonius' work on Augustus as we speak for another essay question. I might take a look at an encyclopedia, thanks for the the suggestion.
